As a Tebex customer for four years, I've decided to quit Tebex forever in favor of better alternatives available.
When I first set up my webshop with Tebex in 2020, it was a different experience. Back then, they didn’t take any share of our sales and offered many features for free that are now behind a paywall, such as coupons, promotions, and webstore design options. These features are still free with other webshop providers. Since 2020, Tebex has only gotten progressively worse. They started putting features behind a paywall and then began taking a share of sales. They introduced "Tebex Wallet," which holds your funds for days before you can withdraw them. Previously, payments went instantly to my PayPal account.
What finally made me quit Tebex was their introduction of a "webshop review" system, where someone reviews your shop and approves it or not. Tebex has made hundreds of dollars from me, either from buying their premium services or from the shares they started taking from my sales. Not once did they, nor my customers, complain about anything. Then, they sent me an email expressing "concern" about the crates available for my ranks, demanding a screenshot of a preview of my crates to approve the store. I consider this very insulting and unprofessional, especially since I've been a long-term customer and my content is completely EULA compliant, and other webshop alternatives have none of this review process nonsense.
In short, I strongly recommend looking for an alternative due to:
- Outrageous prices for basic features that are free with other webshop providers
- A large share of your sales being taken by Tebex
- Progressively worsening service and higher costs
- Holding your funds for days before you can withdraw them
- A ridiculous review process
on a positive note, and the reason i do not give one star, package delivery works just fine and it's almost instant, and despite being far worse than other services, it still gets it's job done, just leaves a lot to desire when compared to the alternatives
